I have two, yup, both girls. A 14 yo and a 6 yo.Any of you guys have kids?

Ugh, brief rant but...
My LORs are due in a few weeks for my school's committee letter.
I was meeting with one of my writers, having a good talk, etc...and when I stood up to leave they casually dropped in "yeah, expect that to be a month late, minimum. But keep nagging me, I won't get annoyed or irritated by it! The committee will probably start hassling me too, but I think they'll grudgingly take them until sometime in June!"
I was like
WHYYYYYY WOULD YOU PLAN ON BEING LATE?!?
Why would you ever tell me that?
Why not just WRITE THE DAMN LETTER, especially given that I made sure you recommended me for another program this year precisely so that you had a foundation started and it would be easier for you to get things done in med school crunch time?!?!?
It probably won't make any difference to my app, but it definitely bugs me, especially because with my split stats I am adamant about submitting ASAP. Keep in mind, after she finally submits the letter, the committee still has to write one, and I don't really want to be their last-ditch, in-a-rush effort after burning out on everyone else all season. FFfffffffuuuuuuu
This takes me back to HS days.
Just one more MCAT book still on its way. Intimidating imo.

Aw, I'm glad he's recovered. I revived a little bird who hit my window the other day. He napped for about 10 min on a pillow I made out of a towel. Then, like a light being turned on he was up and alert, fluttering about my room. ^-^Guys...guys...we just found a tiny baby squirrel in our driveway. He's probably ~5wks old, according to The Internet, which we all know is infallible. Anyway, he was not in great shape (possibly has fallen from his nest?) with a slow, but steady nosebleed. He's clearly cold and dehydrated, at the least.
Took him to the local vet, where they rehydrated him a bit subQ. Give him some flea stuff (he def had fleas) so my mom won't have a heart attack when she finds him in the house later. The wildlife sanctuary doesn't open until tomorrow, so I'm trying to warm him up and keep him hydrated tonight without overhandling him *eek*
I'm also trying not to die of cute, btw.
I dunno...he hasn't stayed as perked as I'd like. I'm worried the house is too cold. Also his nose is still bleeding and it's been like 2hrs.Aw, I'm glad he's recovered.

How cool of you guys. The animals that I find on my house I have to put them down. lol Snakes that is. There is a mix of rat snakes and copperheads. A copperhead bit one of my pups onced, so I kill any snake I see now. It cost us 300 bucks for an overnight stay for my pup at the vet hospital since the copperhead did inject venom into my dog's face.I dunno...he hasn't stayed as perked as I'd like.

Glad yours turned out alright, though!
I miss my coffee.They just changed the forum styles around again...
Ah, that's nice. When are you thinking on applying to medical school?I have two, yup, both girls. A 14 yo and a 6 yo.
Oh snap! Yeah, we don't have snakes so much. I did almost step on a rattler as thick as your arm once (well, maybe not your arm, Buff) but that was when I lived several thousand miles from my present location. Also I was a kid and we were hiking in the mountains, so it would've been one heckuva sprint down for my mom once I got hit :/How cool of you guys.

Yeah, I've been told my forearms are the size of someones thigh. lol Rattle snakes are scary, they are way thicker and they probably do not die so fast. I use to shoot the snakes with pellets in the head, then chop off their head. Now I use the machete and stab them right on top of their head, chop off the head, then into pieces and throw it back over the fence (supposedly that helps from future snakes coming back).Oh snap!

Good luck!Heh, now. I'm waitlisted/active hold listed in two places.
I had literally put my heel down already and was lowering the front of my foot...my toe would have hit the thing. I jumped back so damn fast (but not as fast as it went into rattling mode). Gimme an angry bear anytime over that. I think we had maybe a Swiss Army knife on us, no machete or gun. Not sure what we'd have done (do the snakes usually just bite and take off?)Yeah, I've been told my forearms are the size of someones thigh. lol Rattle snakes are scary, they are way thicker and they probably do not die so fast.

Pretty much. I wished I would of found that mofo snake that bit my dog. Hey what math classes did you take? I'm kind of stuck thinking what classes to take for math. I'm gonna test the waters with a business major and they require finite mathematics and business calculus.I had literally put my heel down already and was lowering the front of my foot...my toe would have hit the thing.

I did 2 calcs in HS, so I mostly left it at that.Pretty much. I wished I would of found that mofo snake that bit my dog. Hey what math classes did you take?

Ugh...I don't want to take calculus, but I know for sure statistics is a must.I did 2 calcs in HS, so I mostly left it at that.
I took Discrete in college, though...that was a fun one! It basically starts from the ground up and makes you prove everything. Remember all of those simple rules you learn about math starting in like grade 1? Yeah, in this class you formally prove that they work. It was pretty cool.
That's it...I was not so much the math type. I didn't need it much, since I skipped physics and did orgo, but almost no p-chem!
I should've taken it. Now that I'm premed my advisor has mentioned it a few times, but the only place I could take it is so far away, I haven't bothered.Ugh...I don't want to take calculus, but I know for sure statistics is a must.
Online? In my math class we do the homework online, I actually learn from the examples instead of learning in class, but that's me. How's your Spanish?I should've taken it.

Haha, yup. That was actually my aim. It's my universal username, so on gaming sites and whatnot it seems like your typical MECHWARRIOR897, but it's actually a nerdy reflection of my major and graduation year. Plus, it seems kind of guy-name-y, so I can lay low on the internet until I actually feel like advertising the fact that I'm a girl (yes it makes a difference). Most importantly it sounds cool! (and I've always liked 'meh' as an expression, too.)@mehc012 observation bump.
Just realized that mehc is chem written in backwards. For a moment, I thought it stood for mechanic, as in a car mechanic (since you repair motorcycles) or a mechanical engineer. Or maybe even a mall-style robocop. Just a random observation.

Organic!!!Well it's working effectively, since I thought you were a guy until you mentioned otherwise
And which chemistry subject do you like the most: organic, inorganic, analytical, biochemistry, or physical? And which one do you hate the most?
Damn! So, I just did a little quick search and I need to go through the long math route to take physics and chemistry.I thought Stats wasn't bad, really. I looked at it as an opportunity to better understand the value of studies. That's going to be very useful for you later, even if you change paths.
I always read your name like this. #megHaha, yup. That was actually my aim.

Coca? jkMy plan: get into med school, travel to S. America during my last free time before matriculation, maybe attend one of those immersion schools or something, do some fun stuff, come back with far, far, better Spanish!
Methinks you knew I was a girl from the start, then (or perhaps my River avvie gave the game away!)I always read your name like this. #meg
I always knew you are a girl.Methinks you knew I was a girl from the start, then (or perhaps my River avvie gave the game away!)
They should just change her name to 'Meh-g'. Though I suppose they generally treat her as worse than 'meh'.
@mimelim would be your bff.Holy crap, climbing is fun as hell!
A wild RTC appears!

I've mentioned it plenty. Heck, I've even had to argue about it with some people (not joking...where is Agent B, anyway?)Pretty sure you've mentioned you're a girl before.
Lol is that one of those hats with the fish all over them?
Also, Indian food is freakin' awesome. And no I'm not indian (in a premed forum, probably not bad idea to clarify). If you don't like indian food, screw you.

I just meant that most people on the internet, unless they read one of those many posts where I specifically mention it, tend to assume the opposite, whether due to username or my personality.
Oh I am...I just also happen to be lacking a Y chromosomeCan confirm. Always thought you were one of the bros.
@mimelim would be your bff.
He would kick my ass. I'm barely 5.8+!
Awesome! Have fun!Speaking of which, I am mid road trip to Horseshoe Canyon Ranch. Have two 12c that I am aiming to send tomorrow or Saturday , I might get some attempts in on Sunday before our drive back.

I thought by rockclimbing, you climb those fake rocks in the gym. Didn't realize you rockclimb actual rocks. Color me shocked (and badly beaten)
I went on vacation for a week, got sick, and am now getting ready to try out for a team. Aka I haven't climbed in like 2wks. All of my calluses fell off and I'm almost afraid to go back. That second day back...so rough!Yeah bouldering is so much harder. My arms still feel numb after going on weds.so much easier to rest while climbing.
No shame though, this was my second time going ever haha.

That's not the only option, though...I've definitely been on outdoor toprope trips, it's just harder to find a good spot for it!Outdoors that is all we do.
